I have identified most of the characters gossiping about Marge in the picture at http://zansstuff.com/images/simpsonsphonenames.jpg

Can anyone fill in the blanks (or correct mistakes)?

I think the one in Row 2 is Marge's mother, Jacqueline Bouvier.

The one at the far right of Row 6 is Jack Marley, the guy who was forced to retire from the nuclear plant in 9F05, "Marge Gets a Job."

The one at the lower left is one of the barflies at Moe's. I assume he has a name, but I don't know if it's ever been spoken on the show.

Right next to him is Martin Prince's father.

Skinner's first name is spelled "Seymour."

I just want to add this is one of the best threads I have seen around here in quite a while. Scott, you've had some excellent recall. Nice work. I really enjoy seeing this board being used properly instead of rehashing why Dr. Monroe is still alive. Keep up the good work.

And the guy in row 3, column 4 with the big hair *may* be Scott Christian (Kent Brockman's understudy), although he seems to be wearing glasses. Perhaps he wears contact on the air and glasses at home.

The lady in the third column, fourth row looks like Ruth Powers at a glance.

Second to last column, second to last row: I believe the "Sea Captain" is named Captain Chester. Perhaps someone else could confirm.

Second from the top, second from the right: It looks sort of like Marge's mother, but don't hold me to that.

The fellow in the bottom right looks like Homer's mechanic, who I don't believe is named. He happens to sound like the fellow who flipped the switch on the Krusty doll from Evil to Good.

glance.

Capt. McAllister. (Chester McAllister?)

Bottom right guy to me looks like the cynical middel aged man who is in a lot of episodes. One scene that pops into my mind is when he told fat Homer at the theater "Hey fatty, here's a movie for ya, 'A Fridge Too Far!'"

Mr. Costington:

I think the old FOX Simpsons site said his first name was Horatio, but this was never confirmed on the show. The same site said Snake's real name was "Chester Turkey."

Bottom row far left is one of the guys at Moe's...I don't remember if he has a name or not...

Bottom row far right is "Sarcastic Middle-Aged Man"

Matt GarveyZan Hecht

Third row fourth column is Scott Christian...how quickly we forget... Fourth row third column I think is Ruth Powers I don't think that's Gil - hard to make out here but I'd guess someone from the retirement castle Under Gil might be the historian from 4F15, but that's just from memory... Bottom row: Sam the barfly, Mr. Prince...the last three *look* like Bill or Marty, Wolfcastle (sort of), and Sarcastic Middle-Aged Man.

I don't think that's Bill or Marty, as Marty isn't balding and Bill has grey hair.

That doesn't look enough like Wolfcastle. I had the same thought.

Yup, that it SMAM. Thanks.

Okay, I've update the picture. I'm still not convinced about Ranier Wolfcastle in the bottom right.

New picture is at http://zansstuff.com/images/simpsonsphonenames.jpg

I've also included an unlabled version at http://zansstuff.com/images/simpsonsphonenonames.jpg

Can anyone fill in the last 4 blanks (or correct more mistakes)?

Well, the one picture is definitely not Lunchlady Doris.

First row, fourth: the face, if not the body, looks like Milhouse's grandmother. Last row, third : looks like a young girl, Rev. Lovejoy's daughter? Last row, third from the left : the radio traffic guy in the helicopter? Just right to him : Rainier Wolfcastle?

Yup, looks like it is.

Look closer, she is definately not young.

You're thinking of Arnie Pie, who that isn't.

I thought that at first, but I don't think so.

I believe the one you have labeled "Don Vittorio" is actually Fat Tony (whose last name is either Williams or D'Amico, depending on which episode you're watching). Don Vittorio is a much older Italiian stereotype.

The woman in the top row next to Brandine is Krabapple, isn't it? The man who looks like Red Barclay is not dressed appropriately, and appears to be too thin.

The two men on the bottom row who everyone thinks are Rainier and Red are actually the kid who yelled "HATE CRIME" at Rockapalooza, and the Marine guarding the US Embassy in Australia. If not that, maybe the guy who told the kids that they were 10 years late for the Knoxville World's Fair?

The women in curlers is the lady who drives the school bus on South Park. Oops, wrong show. Um, she is the lady who sold the falafel business to Edna, Maude, and Helen.

The one on the bottom row, second-to-last. Is it Lance Murdock (the Evil Knievel guy)?

That's my guess for him. He doesn't look anything like Rainier to me.

For the second-to-last, I'm going to go with Eddie the cop.

Okay, the person labeled Lunchlady Doris, who is clearly a man, is Eddie Muntz, Nelson's dad. Just go watch Brother From the Same Planet or Bart Star, and you'll see it's him. Not Red Barclay. Sure as hell not Lunchlady Doris.

Also, Bill/Marty's hair color shouldn't be a factor, seing as that one (3rd to last, bottom row) was black in Bart Gets an Elephant and in no other episode. So hair color changing is all together possible. It's either him or Arnie Pie.

And the 2nd to last one, bottom row, is not Wolfcastle, it's Eddie the Cop OR Larry the barfly. But judging by the eyes, I'd say Eddie.

Clearer image that I found. Apparently that woman (bottom row, column 3) is Ms. Allbright, the sunday school teacher.
